Digital currencies are all the rage right now with global GPU shortages thanks to Ethereum mining, and just as I've reached 1.15GH/s with 46 graphics cards mining away, eSports betting giant Unikrn has landed the eyes of investor Mark Cuban.

Cuban has announced he is investing in Unikrn, which is in the planning stages of its own token sale, where he said: "I want to learn more about them". He added that he hasn't "signed the paperwork yet. But it's likely it will happen". Unikrn is expected to roll out its initial coin offering (ICO) in September, which will be based on Ethereum. Ethereum mining is one of the hottest trends of digital currency this year, driving a global sell out of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.

We will be closely covering Unikrn's moves with its own UnikrnGold, a Unikrn currency based on ERC20, which will trade on all of the main crypto exchanges after the initial token sale.
